Framework for Shalom Zone Community Development

Pastor Rudy believes that Matthew 25, the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats lays out the framework for the community development in his Shalom Zone in Huston, Texas. “Community development really begins focusing on the least of those considered the most marginalized in your community,” pastor Rudy remarks. “Once you identify that area of pain in your community then you begin to move resources in that direction and know that God will meet you in that effort,” he concludes.
